8 of Our Favorite New Models Share Their Summer Beauty Must-Haves

Models have raised the bar pretty high when it comes to street style. In fact, their off-duty outfits are sometimes just as compelling as what's on the runway. And while their cool-girl approach to fashion is well documented by photographers and bloggers all over, we are left wondering: What about their beauty routines?

After all, these girls get a whole lot of face time backstage with the industry's top hair and makeup professionals. That means they're learning all the secrets on glowy skin, perfect hair, and the best lipsticks way before the rest of us.

We thought summer was the perfect time to pick their brains on what they're using to stay gorgeous. But we didn't just choose any models—these are eight faces you're going to want to watch very closely in the next couple of seasons. Who knows? The next Karlie could be in their midst.

Click through to meet our favorite new girls and their top warm-weather beauty essentials.

As for makeup, I really enjoy bright lipsticks. I just use a little bit of M.A.C. Studio Fix Fluid Foundation SPF 15, and then apply my color. Right now, I’m using M.A.C. Lipstick in Sushi Kiss, which is a pretty coral! I learned backstage that if you want a long-lasting lip, you blot your color with a tissue, then take a fluffy brush, dip it in powder, and dust it over the lips. It gives a matte finish, but the color will stay on way longer. For mascara, I love L’Oréal Paris Miss Manga, and then fill in my eyes with black liner. I also learned that if you do bottom mascara, put a spoon under your eyes to avoid getting product on the skin. It also allows you to get thicker lashes!

<b>Jing Wen</b>

Known for: Her angular face has won her a couple pages in Teen Vogue, but she’s also a favorite of Louis Vuitton, and walked the Marc Jacobs and Marchesa shows during Fall Fashion Week.

On her summer must list: "When the warmer weather comes around, I always put my hair up. It’s very long and dark, so it will get way too hot! I completely go without any styling products. As for sunscreen, I usually use it, but I’m kind of lazy! I’m still trying to find the right one for me. But since I have dry skin, moisturizing is still important—even in the summer. Chanel Mousse Douceur is a great, gentle cleanser, and I also love Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair for Eyes, and I regularly treat myself to Fresh Creme Ancienne Ultimate Nourishing Honey Mask. I love to apply Clarins Satin-Smooth Body Lotion, and finish with a spritz of Terre D’Hermès. It’s nice to have a fresh scent for summer. This one makes me feel relad and at ease. As for makeup, I have a lot, but I seldom use them! It’s better to just keep it clean in the hot weather!"

<b>Leila Nda</b>

Known for: Walking all the top shows at Fall Fashion Week, including Marni, Pucci, Versace, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, and Marchesa.

On her summer must list: "When it’s getting hot, I just wear my hair up in a ponytail or a bun—I hate to feel hair on my neck in the summer. I try as much as possible to make it stylish with a little bandana or a cute pair of earrings. But I also apply a little bit of Herbal Essences Hair Milk when it’s still wet after a shampoo. It helps me style my hair more easily and it smells incredible!

I honestly avoid wearing SPF when I can, but when I want perfect skin, I must have my Lancôme Teint Miracle Foundation with SPF 15. It lasts for at least 12 hours and gives me glowy skin without the weird sensation of heavy foundation. I also love Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer where needed, and then layer it with a little bit of powder. Other than that, I don’t change up my skin routine much! I just avoid too much moisturizer. And since summer is the perfect time for beautiful lips, I love M.A.C. Lipstick in Ruby Woo.

I do make sure to apply lotion on my legs specifically, since they tend to get dry. During the summer, I love to wear fresh, floral, and sweet perfumes, which is why I choose Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Eau de Parfum."

<b>Holly Rose Emery</b>

Known for: That signature pout has already popped up in many a magazine page, but Holly was a runway favorite this past season at Peter Pilotto, Dsquared2, and Dolce & Gabbana.

On her summer must list: "Since I’m so fair skinned, I love my SPF products. Environ AVST Moisturizer because it gives me a glowing look. I also recently went to Japan and picked up these crazy masks that are super-hydrating! I also love to use The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter because it’s hydrating for my legs and skin.

With makeup, I’m obsessed with M.A.C. Cream Color Base in Luna. It gives a nice, fresh glow to the areas you apply it! I learned to dab it down the bridge of the nose, tops of the cheeks, the Cupid’s bow, and just a dash on the chin for a slight contour and a subtle sparkle. I make sure to blend it out, otherwise it would look too obvious. I also love adding a light glow using Perfekt Skin Perfection Gel. It’s not heavy and keeps you looking fresh.

When it gets really humid in the summer, I find that having hair on my shoulders just enhances the heat, so I love to twist it up in a bun or plait it. To keep my hair looking shiny in the sun, I use Shu Uemura Art of Hair Essence Absolue, which is an oily hat keeps it soft and protected.

<b>Kai</b>

Known for: Making a splash at the spring and fall shows (Rodarte, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Thakoon, Bottega Veneta) with her killer bone structure and piercing gaze.

On her summer must list: "Summer does change my skin a bit. I like to apply straight Vitamin E and A oils on my face day and night, and I also love using organic extra virgin coconut oil on my skin in the summer. I do apply SPF daily—I like Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Moisturizing Emulsion, and I like having a strong SPF so it lasts longer throughout the day. This one’s great for sensitive skin.

My go-to summer makeup is pretty light. I like Clinique High Impact Mascara and a bit of lip gloss! I’m also obsessed with Benefit Sun Beam, a golden highlighter, which I put on the Cupid’s bow, below my brows, top of my cheeks, and the bridge of my nose.
